A quantitative assay for assessing allelic proportions by iterative gap ligation.
A variety of techniques are currently available for detecting point mutations in DNA. These techniques are frequently not sensitive enough to be applied as quantitative assays in evaluation of relative occurrence of alleles in cases of polymorphism or when variations in allelic gene expression are being evaluated at the level of RNA. We report here the establishment of an iterative gap ligation...
متن کاملGenotyping by Oligonucleotide Ligation Assay (OLA).
INTRODUCTIONThis protocol describes the oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA), which uses a set of three oligonucleotides, in combination with a thermostable Taq DNA ligase enzyme, to discriminate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles. Sixteen-plex OLA genotyping reactions are carried out, and allele-specific OLA products are detected on membrane arrays using radiolabeled probes.
متن کاملA quantitative assay for measuring mRNA decapping by splinted ligation reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction: qSL-RT-PCR.
The degradation of messenger RNA is a critical node of gene regulation. A major pathway of mRNA decay is initiated by shortening of the poly(A) tail, followed by removal of the 5' cap structure (decapping) and subsequent degradation. Decapping is an important determinate in the destruction of many transcripts. Detailed kinetic analysis of in vivo decapping rates is necessary to understand how t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assay for Assessing the Effects of DNA Lesions on Transcription
Most mammalian cells in nature are quiescent but actively transcribing mRNA for normal physiological processes; thus, it is important to investigate how endogenous and exogenous DNA damage compromises transcription in cells. Here we describe a new competitive transcription and adduct bypass (CTAB) assay to determine the effects of DNA lesions on the fidelity and efficiency of transcription. Usi...
